Why Choose Us?
-
OUR
DOGS -
Health is by far our biggest priority within our program. We
accomplish this by many different means. Our 1st priority is
to breed a pup that is going to live a very long happy life.
We do extensive research before ever adding a weim to our
program for breeding by making sure throughout the 3-5
generation pedigree of that particular dog that (no major
health concerns) exist. For example, we check to make sure
their relatives do not carry genetic defects, may be prone
to cancer, or have hip dysplasia. In short, you get the
reassurance that your weim is going to live well into the 12
plus year range. Our dogs get monthly de-wormings, daily
vitamins, and are never bred back to back between heat
cycles; this means, our dogs our dogs 1st, not meant to
breed and spend most of their life pregnant or nursing.
We DO NOT cross breed our dogs! Our dogs go through OFA
certification and currently we are developing our future
lineup to compete in both the field and show ring!
-
OUR
PUPPIES -
We save you hundreds of dollars! When you purchase a pup
from us, your pup with have both rounds of shots already
done including an 8-way, a basic health exam, AKC
registration (either full or limited), micro chipping,
flea-treatment, and will be fully de-wormed (vet grade
Pyrantel, Ponazuril, and Panacure) along with tails and
dewclaws docked correctly, weekly
baths and nail trimmings, and finally daily vitamin and fish
oil supplements. We raise our pups indoors and off the
surface of the elements outside. This is detrimental to a
puppies developmental stages to have proper clean areas to
grow on and be away from parasites and other harmful factors
that may affect a puppy. We even offer a 1-year Health
Guarantee! Most breeders barely offer any type of health
guarantee at all, and the ones that do typically only offer
one for a very short period of time.
-
OUR
KENNEL - I
always enjoy saying this, "We don't have one!" Our dogs are
not cooped up in small cages like nearly every breeder's
dogs are. Our Weims and Vizslas spend their days on their
very own 2 acre track with a pond and multi-dimensional
terrain partly wooded, open-land, and perfectly geared to
excel our dogs hunting instincts and level of exercise and
play.
-
WATCH
YOUR PUPPY GROW -
By far, one feature that separates us from nearly every
breeder is your options to fit you and your family with the
perfect puppy. Many factors attribute to this process, and
for starters, here are a few: 1) We help you decipher
which list is suitable for you to join based upon
temperament, sex, and color. 2) We typically have 3-4
litters per quarter so that means we usually can land a pup
for you in the time frame you are generally looking to be
ready for one. 3) We do not just take pictures and tell you
what you want to here like most breeders! NO way! In fact,
as soon as the puppies are born we shoot a video every week
for you and your family to watch the puppies grow. You
can view these videos on the mother's pages that currently
have puppies! This creates ultimate integrity within our
program and allows you to narrow down which pup better fits
you and your family when it's time to pick your companion.
4) You may want a breeding pair and one close to age.
Another one of our specialties! We typically have our
breed-dates set up so that each of our sires breed quarterly
allowing you to mix and match options if desired allowing
you to get two at the same time to grow, train, and live
together as a pair. (Contact us for more details regarding
full-AKC registration if you desire to breed).

PetSafe
DEALER -
The most important thing next to having your companion weim
or vizsla is protecting them! We are also an authorized

lineup of PetSafe products via our store and contact us if

FIELD,
SHOW, & FAMILY GOAL - Southern
Kennel's goal is to produce a pup geared for the field,
show, & family. If desired, we strongly encourage families
to show, compete in field trial competitions, & hunt with
their dogs. It has been in consideration of your best
interest since the beginning of our program to produce a
hunting dog tremendously gifted in the field to hunt quail,
pheasant, duck, & even large game such as deer, elk, bear, &
more. Believe it, your pup will leave you in awe of
his/her capabilities in the field & show. There's a reason
Weims and Vizslas are 2 of only 12 versatile hunting dogs in
the world & our pups are truly born for it. Though the
majority of families who purchase a pup from us do not hunt,
you can see the difference in our dogs as compared to others
in both health and brains. Expect a genius weim or vizsla
when you purchase one from us. And while your pup may be
bred to exceed in both the field & show, it is family geared
offspring that matters most to us & you. A companion
you & your family will cherish for the rest of your lives is
our primary goal that we aim to achieve. Our professional
process that pairs your family with the weim you've always
dreamed of & more reveals this quality regarding our
program.

GENETIC
& PROFESSIONAL PURSUIT - Aron
Helfinstine, Director of Southern Kennels is a Biologist
currently pursuing his Masters with the intent of beginning
his own hunting show and wildlife field studies as well as
building one of the most genetically fit weimaraner & vizsla
programs in the world. Our primary goal is to provide

geared for families. With Aron's knowledge &
understanding of genetics, we have built a program

disorders & common problems found in the breed, saving you
heartache & expensive vet bills down the road. We've
done the research necessary over the years to establish this
genetically healthy foundation. As a result, our pups will
naturally grow into a very well balanced personality,
socially interactive with other people & pets, and sport a
physically breathtaking conformation while staying true to
their hunting characteristics that make the weimaraner and
vizsla some of the smartest dogs in the world.
